After a long career in teaching, you have finally reached
that magical year when you are about to retire. As the
year flies along, you begin to notice changes in and
around you that signal to everyone that you must be a
retiree-to-be and retirement weeks away!

You know you're a retiree-to-be when...

1. Fellow staff members greet you in the hall with, "Oh!
Stop smiling!"

2. You get up to the checkout counter at Borders, and you
realize you're buying books you won't need next year.

3. Your file cabinets are getting lighter, and your
circular file is getting heavier.

4. You find yourself saying, "Yes!" whenever an
administrator or union officer asks you to be on a
committee next year.

5. The custodian has complained to the principal that the
trash he removes daily from your room is 10 to 20 times
greater than any other room in the building- including the
cafeteria.

6. You get in line at the copy machine, and realize you
don't have anything to copy.

7. The teachers in the grade below you complain about how
horrible their kids are, and you just smile.

8. The principal comes in for the final observation of the
year, and you throw a party for your class with lots of
snacks, games, and a visit from Frankie the clown.

9. You constantly find other teachers in your room
measuring bookcases.

10. You respond to every new initiative with, "Been there!
Done that!"

11. When the parent, who has complained about every
teacher her kid has ever had, comes up to you and says,
"My son is hoping to get you next year," you just smile!

12. On your way to the parking lot, you look up at the
sky, and see 3 or 4 recent college graduates circling
overhead.

13. Other staff members complain that they can't get into
the rest room because you're always in there, laughing
hysterically.

14. Behind you, as you're driving out of the parking lot,
you hear the faint ringing of the dismissal bell.

15. Your final comments on the June report card are,
"Bye!"
